Yeah not sure if understand question.

It's a track crossing at the meeting of four (five?) roads. For safety they've combined all four into one crossing.

Even though there's "nothing" there now, it looks like it used to be a station and school down the road called Korunye.

The first primary school was started at Paddy's Station by the efforts of Mrs Thomas Verner. There were many children in the Paddy's Station area and Mr and Mrs Verner offered, if a teacher could be provided by the Education Department, a cottage on their property for the venue. All the families in the district supported her efforts and in 1897 Paddy's Bridge School was established. Miss Blanche O. Ayliffe was the first teacher.

In 1900, a stone school residence and schoolroom combined was erected by the Education Department on land donated by Mr Arthur Pratt. The cost of the building was £498, 6 shillings and 6 pence. Children attended the school from both sides of the river, German Town Hill Road, Reeves Plains, as far south as Mr Jack Secomb's, Mr Len Simpkin's and the Mallala road. In 1921 the name 'Paddy's Bridge' was changed to Korunye as was the bridge and railway station. When the school closed in 1966 the pupils were taken daily by Education Department bus to the Mallala School. The building still stands and is a private residence.

That's pretty interesting

Looks interesting. A proposed new live entertainment venue - Warehouse 5 - on River Street in Hindmarsh.

Interesting. 1600 capacity, which is good to attract events that aren't quite big enough for Thebby but need more space than provided by the likes of The Gov or Fowlers Live. (Might compete a bit with AEC Theatre though).

There's some great old warehouses in that area of Hindmarsh - it would be great to see that whole area rezoned to mixed used, and develop some apartment buildings (and ground level retail and entertainment) that makes a lot of adaptive reuse of the warehouses. See it as an extension of what is happening at Bowden (and create a greater Bowden/Hindmarsh precinct).

Agree - I also wonder what will come of the recent suggestion that the Uni of Adelaide might sell their Thebarton campus. Quite a lot of potential there if so...

Petition to rename Morphett Street to Morpork Street.

No reason.

I guess there are not many other female contributors to this forum, but some members may be interested in this exhibition (and associated events - "Festival of Phryne") as potential Xmas gifts/ideas and or potential holiday ideas for various family members and any visitors during the holiday season.
Great venue!

The Miss Fisher’s Costume Exhibition (based on the popular ABC TV show) is open daily (10am – 5pm) until 14 February 2016 at Ayers House Museum, North Terrace. Costs and details check the link below)

Step into Ayers House and enter the opulent 1920s world of the Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher and her crime fighting associates. Based on the novels of Australian author Kerry Greenwood, the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries series has captured the imagination of Australia.
This brand new exhibition features fabulous series three costumes and props. See up close the outfits worn by Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis) and her cohorts – including Detective Inspector Jack Robinson (Nathan Page) and Aunt Prudence (Miriam Margolyes).

One of the associated events is a 1920s speakeasy popup bar at Z Ward at Glenside on 6 February.

1920s inspired speakeasy bar at historic Z Ward. This remarkable heritage-listed building will be transformed into a lounge bar complete with live jazz music.

Well this sounds familiar.

The retailers in Adelaide got their wish, Rundle Mall was packed like Disneyland on Boxing day. But apparently a cruise liner didn't realise that it was a public holiday in Darwin when they dumped their passengers in a deserted CBD...

The second half of the article goes on about the old chestnut of holiday pay for hospitality workers which has raised its head again in Canberra recently.

Your story, monotonehell about the cruise liner dumping passengers in Darwin on a public holiday .... reminded me of this handy Events link on the Adelaide Metro site.
Amazing to see how many cruise ships (plus dates) are visiting Outer Harbour/Adelaide this year. Quite a boost to the local economy.

Handy, quick reference too for dates, venues for a range of happenings in Adelaide CBD and nearby. eg entertainment, sporting events at AO, Festival Theatre, AEC, Hindmarsh, Vic Pk etc.

I've been watching a few random videos on YouTube and I found that Adelaide used to have a Telecommunications Museum, does anyone have any information what happened to it?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was in Electra House many moons ago. Was centred around the telegraph line up through Central Australia to Darwin.

I don't know who holds the exhibits these days, but they've turned up in exhibitions from time to time amongst other things. There were a few bits and pieces amongst an exhibition in the Myer centre back in the mid 2000s. A lump of cable and some morse keys IIRC. Maybe the SA Museum holds them now?

Tales of two cities, Hobart and Brisbane
One doing it right, one getting it wrong?
The bold ... and the bulk?

Impact of MONA on Hobart

MONA is not the only driving force for tourism and development in town but its impact has been pronounced, varied and widespread.

Directly or indirectly, a good deal of Hobart's vitality is the work of the MONA effect — it has changed the way outsiders think about and act towards Hobart.

Planning woes in Brisbane.
Beautiful, heritage Customs House crowded out by new 47 storey building....

The owners of heritage-listed Customs House are taking the Brisbane City Council to court after it approved construction of a 47-storey high-rise building next door.

...development would be constructed too close to the heritage-listed building and be out of proportion, contradicting the council's own planning scheme.
"The planning scheme's 25-metre setback requirement was meant to preserve the very important views of Customs House..."
